The Crossgate Hornpipe
I wrote this tune after someone's goldfish died.
Put it this way: It is reasonable to suppose that literally anything one does, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, will happen minutes after somebody's goldfish somewhere has turned belly-up or found a new home inside a cat.
This tune is named after Crossgate, a street in Durham City (UK) which contains The Elm Tree, one of Durham's session pubs. I haven't knowingly pinched the arpeggios in the first part from another tune, but wouldn't be a bit surprised if James Hill or Scott Skinner or someone else had come up with them first.
